‘The Moogai’ Cast Compare Their Australian Horror Film With Historical Roots to ‘Get Out’

“The Moogai” Shari Sebbens, Meyne Wyatt, and Bella Heathcote popped into the IndieWire Studio, presented by Dropbox, to talk about how their Australian indie is similar to “Get Out” in that it mines its horror from the real life atrocities that happened to the stolen generation of Aboriginal children.

Most stories and realities (many of which are extremely harsh and shameful) about the history of Indigenous peoples of Australia are not widely known, that is why works like this through the common language of cinema are so vital to opening up our knowledge and recognition not just of other cultures and oppressions, but of the ones that occur right next to us. Movies like these are vital for conversation and change.
